I didn’t always have this business: the clients, the beauty business, and the dreamy ocean locations.In contrast to the amazing life I have now, I came from next to nothing. I arrived in the states in 2002 with less than $500 in my pocket and no family or friends—just my Romanian fire within my soul, big dreams, and a burning desire to turn them into reality.On my quest to accomplish my dreams, I did whatever it took. I worked four jobs while going to school—walking to work and campus because I didn’t have a car, and ate for nearly $1.25/day.

Five years ago, after freelancing as a makeup artist for a decade, I considered how my approach to makeup artistry made women feel effortlessly beautiful, fresh, and empowered—and what better way to capture it all than by co-creating images that radiate your bright, feminine essence?That’s when I took my passion for photography and turned it into a full fledged career.Helping women own and celebrate their beauty and worthiness is what lights me up.
